Finance bill: One Voice is stepping up to the plate to defend their right to inform on cruelty to animals

Finance bill: One Voice is stepping up to the plate to defend their right to inform on cruelty to animals

Mis à jour le 22 December 2022

One Voice has noted three amendments that have been passed (n°I-CF16, n°I-CF98, and n°I-CF607, photo below) today by the Finance Committee on the Finance Bill, and which aim to remove fiscal advantages agreed with associations whose activists were guilty of intruding on agricultural and industrial sites.

Amendment by MP Marc Le Fur adopted by the Finance Committee on October 5, 2022

The association, who is a whistle-blower or relays information from whistle-blowers on numerous subjects linked to irregularities and omissions, mistreatment or acts of cruelty to animals by breeders, circus artists, etc., can only condemn this attempt to put the associations in a difficult position, when they actually defend compliance with the laws in place against cover-ups. We will not allow the law to be so skewed in favour of these anti-animal and anti-nature lobbies due to pressure groups in favour of private interests being listened to by the Ministry for Agriculture.

One Voice is a revolutionary and non-violent association. Its methods, particularly investigations, allow them to show what is hidden by people who are breaking the law. And the images that they legally produce have allowed numerous victories in favour of animals.

For example, the investigation on the ten tigers kept by a circus trainer having led to their rescue in December 2020, or those in mink farms, for which the images allowed parliamentarians to decide to ban fur farms in France at the end of November 2021. But also our investigations within animal breeding farms (birds, deer, wild boars) serving as game for hunters.

One Voice is therefore calling on all MPs and especially those who want to defend animals, the right to inform, and the right for civil disobedience, to reject these amendments during the plenary session.

Je suggère qu’on exige de nos représentants (Assemblée, Sénat) un amendement supprimant toute subvention à toute représentation locale des chasseurs dès lors qu’il serait constaté (photos, témoignages) que des chasseurs ont pénétré sur des terrains privés ou privatifs (ex. En ville, pk de supermarchés etc…).

Dégueulasse

Mais bien sûr ce qui leur permettra de pouvoir continuer de torturer, de massacrer, de maltraiter encore plus d'animaux en toute tranquillité, c'est inacceptable et nous ne pouvons l'accepter, car c'est "se mettre les français" dans la poche en les endormant et en leur faisant croire et adhérer à toutes les atrocités et horreurs dont sont victime les animaux à cause de ces humains et par ces humains, c'est intolérable !

L'Etat français est dégueulasse et je dis bien Etat français.
